Packed with history and facts! This book has adorable maps that have key moments in their history, facts and pictures! I loved it. And it was perfect for my kids that are interested in maps and the world!

My children loved this book! We are studying the 50 states this year as part of our homeschool curriculum and using that book as a major part of our studies. So, I was excited to see that this will be released soon, and we can use it next year as we further our geography lessons. I am already getting ideas prepared for how to use it with our curriculum. Lots of information and facts and bright colors! I will definitely be recommending it to others and purchasing it for our homeschool library.

Colorful cartoon maps of populous or interesting areas are the focus of this book. Each map gets a 2-page spread.

Deceptively, the maps aren't really drawn to scale, and cities and other points of interest aren't placed correctly. It's more about getting a feel for the area, such as its landscape and culture.

There are also a lot of pop-outs with additional information, as well as interesting timelines.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

This book is so beautifully illustrated and is a wealth of information about countries all over the world. Broken down I to map form, you get little details about certain locations of historical significance with each country as well as people who impacted the country and a timeline of important dates. So many unique areas of the world are given the spotlight and I loved learning about new to me places as well as more information about countries I have had the privilege of visiting!

just like a previous book from this author, the illustrations are beautiful and the destinstions! i was sooo happy to see lençóis maranhenses in one of the brazilian destinstions since this is where I am from and most tourists just want to visit rio for their beaches when there are many other things to do. i also love how the author included "least popular" yet still interesting countries to talk about, all from every continent in the world. i feel like adults might also be interested in taking a look at this book. i highly recommend!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for my copy of 50 Maps of the World by Ben Handicott; Kayla Ryan in exchange for an honest review. It publishes May 7, 2024.
Oh my goodness, this book was so wonderful! As a homeschool mom, the maps in this book are invaluable, and would absolutely enhance any geography lesson! Interesting and fun to view, this book is a real winner!

This will really appeal to a particular group of children in my class who are fascinated with discovering new facts about the world around. As an adult, I love the combination of historical facts and interesting geographical information. The layout of each page is similar which would also make this appealing for the less confident readers. This is a book which could be dipped in and out of rather than read from cover to cover. You could revisit countries you've been to in real life or simply those on your wish list.
This is going to be a must buy for our school library as I can picture pairs or groups of children enjoying looking at this together.

Despite this being a children’s book, I feel like I’ll be able to get some good use out of it when planning my future travels! The information covered can be kind of overwhelming and you can tell the authors tried to cram as much information in as possible. I thought the drawings were cute and the book was easy to read.

“50 Maps of the World” is a romp through the world exploring the natural wonders and cultural histories of countries on all parts of the globe. Each double-page spread features a map with bite-sized chunks of text that tell the reader about various aspects of that country. Authors Ben Handicott and Kalya Ryan included five important people and a key facts box from that country.

The design and illustrations of the book are delightful thanks to the talent of illustrator Sol Linero. This book begs to be read as a physical book. I can imagine children (and adults) running their fingers over the pages as they focus on one interesting aspect of the country.

Classroom Considerations: This book is a must-have for elementary classrooms and would be an excellent addition to middle school and high school classrooms.

I received an advance review copy from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for sending me an arc of the book !

50 maps of the world shows 50 countries and its informations which includes about basic knowledge like cities, and population but also historical events, spotlights, famous people and their popular flower & animal.

the illustrations and graphics are really different of what i’ve seen in books so that was a plus ! this book is great for those who want to learn more about countries and i really liked how they approached about latin america (showing at least 8 of 20 countries), africa and asia !

This book is a fantastic addition to any map lovers collection. What a fantastic resource for a family with children to have. You could spend a whole hour on each page looking at the map, pictures and place. Each page had me fascinated, and wanting to learn more about the rich culture and heritage of the people who lived there. I especially loved the introduction and how it taught that maps can change and countries can split or unite.
I enjoyed slowly perusing each page and would love to have a copy in our home for the kids (and me!) to read again and again.
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

As someone who is an inquisitive person, I found this book interesting. Even though I am 25, I have never had the opportunity to travel out of the United States, unfortunately. However, I have always believed it is important to learn about other lifestyles and cultures besides my own. I also believe it is important to teach children these lessons, and this book accomplishes that without being very overwhelming. With that being said, I don't think this book would be suited for toddlers, but could probably catch a first or second-grader's attention. I would buy this book for a child that may come into my life.

I love these graphics. This is a perfect book for children to learn and be exposed to all new places and cultures. Quality images and beautifully drawn.

50 Maps of the World is a children's book about a bunch of different countries around the world. It has different places to visit, different historical events, and different facts about these different countries.

This book was a lot of fun! It had a lot of good information that kids will find interesting. I liked the different areas, the different historical facts, and the pictures throughout. It has information for all types of people like history loves and travel lovers. The pictures were all very colorful and cute. The font was also pleasing to look at.

I think a lot of kids will enjoy this book! It has a lot of information and it is really cute to look at! Thanks so much to netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions, Wide Eyed Editions for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I loved this book, and I learned so much that I started taking notes! I will definitely be buying this for some of the kids in my life. The art is stunning, and the information is well organized. I highly recommend this book!

What a great book for children to learn about the different countries around the world and some facts. I even learned a lot about the countries in this book myself. The pictures are so pretty.

How do you travel without leaving the comfort of your own home? This book is it! It helps the child to see what happens around the world, to spark their interest in foreign cultures and countries. Entertaining, visually appealing, and informative.

This is a wonderful resource for children to learn about every country. There are key facts, moments to remember (with timelines), landmarks and famous citizens. The illustrations are so cute, and there’s a lot on each page to catch your eye. Reading this would be a great way to start conversations with kids about different languages and cultures!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions for a complimentary eARC. My review is entirely voluntary.

Another hit in the “50 maps of” books!
A perfect book for the adventure children of the world! These are auto buys!!

This book has really cool format - lots of cool facts and history about the countries they included in the book. Each page has an intro, timeline, landmarks and interesting people from that country. My students would love looking through this and reading all of the neat facts.

This would be perfect for intermediate grades (3rd-5th).
